Your support is needed: Let Congress know that you want to save the Historic Tax Credit.

The Federal Historic Tax Credit (HTC) is under threat of elimination or curtailment during current tax reform discussions.

Between 2002-2016, the rehabilitation of 169 historic buildings in California—with $468M in federal credits—spurred $2.8 billion in redevelopment. And, the federal credit pays back more to the Treasury than it costs!

Despite the HTC’s proven record for stimulating economic development, we are deeply concerned that the program will fall victim to the current federal tax reform efforts.

Join SOHO, the California Preservation Foundation and the National Trust and send a clear and strong message that the Historic Tax Credit needs to be included within the tax reform proposal.

Contact your representative in Congress individually using the links provided below and urge them to co-sponsor the Historic Tax Credit Improvement Act, which will further encourage reuse and rehabilitation of historic resources, maximize the impact of state historic credits, and broaden the eligibility requirement so more historic properties are applicable under this program. Thank you for supporting this important legislation!
